pepsi?

i've been constructing my words on this topic since the day we went back to krai. whenever i had some good points, that's the time the pc is not before me. time driving la, time yak2 la, time discussion la.. so i hope i could squeeze back all the juices...

i read about the mother with her 2 daughters being called "sundal". my 1st impression seeing their picture was "sesuai pe....". it's my perception. look at what they wore. so lucky they are not jeslina hashim la. kalo tak sure kes lepas punya. hehe.. then i got an email - kononnya a copy of the mother's police report. ok! ok! i tak delah percaya email tu 100%. but i have my point there. according to the email the policewoman said "pakaian macam sundal". and that was the spark of the whole thing. all i can say, the policewoman kata "macam". diulangi.. "macam" aje. if the lady was not a sundal, apa dia nak bising2. macamlah dia tak penah cakap camtu kat org lain jugak kan?

mak always remind me not to voice our "valued opinion" out loud. tengok je apa yg tak kena kat org tu. jangan cakap kuat2. dosa. anyway, she has a point. yelah.. kalo kita cakap kuat2, nanti jadilah macam policewoman tu kan? and another thing, what if org tu adalah kita? how would we feel if somebody is talking about us? rasa oren kan? itulah dia.. but i really miss the moment kutuk org dengan akut. nampak org bibir tebal lipstik merah menyala we'll go "tu bibir ke belon?". then jumpa pulak org rambut kinting2, something like "tu rambut ke mop?" will pop out.

so those are perspesi. pandangan seorang terhadap sesuatu atau seseorang. perception. it's how we perceive. we have to be fair. we cant blame other people for having a negative perception. it's a thought. takan nak puji-pujian je kot.. sesekali kena kutukan baru best.. barulah ala-ala makan nasik kerabu cicah budu. and pepsi? a perception of persepsi..

afza: thanks for the thought. that's why mak keeps reminding us to keep our "valued opinion" to ourselves.
kutuk, i believe, starts from our perception. like policewoman perceived that lady, it was her perception. but as a result, it became kutukan to that poor lady. kan?
perception could be anything. positive @ negative. it's how u value it. when it's positive, it's so called cadangan yg membina. when it's negative, it's the kutukan.. dont u think so? anyway, thanks for dropping by.
